Remington Quick Groom Body & Back Groomer

This is awesome for clipping those fine hairs on back. The handle is nice and you can reach anywhere on your back. Those who get laser hair removal will love this, as you have to shave your back first before you go in for your treatment and this clipper makes it so much easier to do. Battery life is good and chargers fairly quickly. Noise is at an acceptable level. Highly recommended.

All passion no stretch marks!

Whilst I want to give this groomer a top score unfortunately I can’t, it’s possible I have a malfunctioning faulty item but I can only review what I have.Although I followed the instructions regrading charging to a tee upon delivery, this groomer pulsates continuously which makes grooming almost impossible.Only using it twice I’ve reached the stage of returning the item to the shaver shop under warranty as a faulty product.At 5”10 I find the handle adequate but if you was 6” or talker you’d struggle reaching all the parts of your back not to mention the angle of the extension handle isn’t exactly compliant to the angle of the hard to reach body contour.Look the idea is great and if I had a functioning item I probably would give tge groomer a 7/10 but the item I ... MoreWhilst I want to give this groomer a top score unfortunately I can’t, it’s possible I have a malfunctioning faulty item but I can only review what I have.Although I followed the instructions regrading charging to a tee upon delivery, this groomer pulsates continuously which makes grooming almost impossible.Only using it twice I’ve reached the stage of returning the item to the shaver shop under warranty as a faulty product.At 5”10 I find the handle adequate but if you was 6” or talker you’d struggle reaching all the parts of your back not to mention the angle of the extension handle isn’t exactly compliant to the angle of the hard to reach body contour.Look the idea is great and if I had a functioning item I probably would give tge groomer a 7/10 but the item I have warrants a 1-2 out of 10.Remington certainly has let me down with this purchase atm which is a shame as I have 2 other Remington products that are tip top items, I guess when it’s the only back groomer in tge Australian market beggars can’t be choosers but I’m definitely sending this back as it obviously is faulty.

Do not buy if you have, you know, body hair.

2 sessions over approximately 1.5hrs and I have gone from a hairy man to some kind of mangy rescue cat. Why? Remington.This thing is not fit for purpose and besides the remorse of actually spending money on it, my greatest regret is destroying the box in my excitement to use it.It does not trim evenly.It does clog up every 5-15 seconds and stops trimming altogether.It will cut/irritate sensitive areas like under arms and you-know-where.It will resolutely refuse to cut through random single hairs for no apparent reasonI have used a regular Wahl or generic hair clippers to tame back, chest, leg, arm.... you get the idea: for many years and finally after my last clippers broke down decided that there must be something more convenient out there by 2020.At ... More2 sessions over approximately 1.5hrs and I have gone from a hairy man to some kind of mangy rescue cat.

See that for a review. Suffice to say ‘it’s comfortable to hold in the hand’ is the only good thing about that product. Great for a computer mouse maybe, but When cutting hair is your goal not so much.But, I felt one product could be faulty and this body and back groomer was really another price bracket higher, so more quality. Right?It is not. Rest assured if you have anything more than a few tufts of light hair you will throw this away after a few hours torturing yourself because you don’t want to admit you just wasted $130.As soon as I work off the $200 of wasted money in both of these products. I will go straight back to a regular set of hair clippers for less than half the price.

Don't waste your money on this one.

I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this one and got to try it first instead. The flat silver plate between the trimming sides needs to be a rotary type shaver, so all the hairs are removed. If I had a hairy back, this isn't the equipment I'd be wanting to use because it's a trimmer, and not a close trimmer at that. I gave my armpits, chest and nether regions a go with it and the results were not smooth, but left me feeling like I had stubble, some severe regrowth. It was ok on my face to remove excessive facial hair before shaving, because I didn't expect it to remove the hair fully as I do on the body. Using the attachments is a waste of time, I put each one on and ran it over my head (I have a full head of hair that my Wife was about to trim for me in lockdown) ... MoreI'm glad I didn't waste my money on this one and got to try it first instead.

Again, I suggest the silver plate between the trimmers be amended.

Flawed But Good For Back Hair

Okay so you can definitely believe other reviews saying the combs are useless - they just don't work so throw them away - puzzling design fail to say the least. Overpriced? Absolutely, worth probably a third of the price for what it is. BUT it does shave off your back hair quickly and smoothly (don't know why some people reported it "ripping and pulling") and trust me, my back hair is like a Gorilla. I don't want my hair shaved to the skin (as it creates rashes and in-growns etc) and I just prefer this which leaves it 0.2mm. Looks like it's shaved completely off but with none of the discomfort. The only trick getting it to cut properly is maintaining the blades at around a 30-40 degree angle to the skin. The handle unfortunately feels a little flimsy, and I would ... MoreOkay so you can definitely believe other reviews saying the combs are useless - they just don't work so throw them away - puzzling design fail to say the least.

The only trick getting it to cut properly is maintaining the blades at around a 30-40 degree angle to the skin. The handle unfortunately feels a little flimsy, and I would recommend avoiding using it at its fullest extension (the second to last click is sufficient length anyway), then it should be fine.So plenty of room for improvement and hopefully a better priced alternative comes along one day, but for now this is performing well enough at its primary purpose (back hair) to be considered. For general body grooming I just use my other clippers with combs that work perfectly.

Just get it, you won’t be disappointed.

Close to perfect, needs alternate head to make it a real winner. The extension arm is easy to change lengths (all plastic but seems robust). The battery life is great and the trimmer is well designed and difficult to cut yourself, even when trimming your back.If they could implement a pit bull style head as a second add-on I wouldn’t hesitate to give it 5 stars. Both this and the other Remington trimmer are essential tools.

Pure Magic!

I bought this brilliant device yesterday. I was absolutely blown away how effective it is. It is like bar of soap to hold and glides all over body. The handle extension is pure luxury to do my back with ease. I was not expecting it be so good. It very fast and doesn't scratch or pinch. I hadn't trimmed body hair for a while and it took it painlessly back to a smooth hair free skin in no time. Being Scandinavian background I have a lot of thick body hair all over and find many other clippers do not work, but this one does!.. It is so easy to use! I very happy now.I highly recommend this one.

Quick groom

Bought this shaver a few months ago to shave my back hair. Very happy with my purchase. I don’t use the extension arm, I have someone else do it for me so i can’t speak to the effectiveness of that accessory. Neither have I used the combs.Previously we used a standard shaver/trimmer and this unit is a huge improvement on that type of shaver. It has a wide sweep and the job is done in a jiffy.I did hesitate given the mixed reviews and the cost, however this appears to be a quality product. Money back guarantee was a consideration here, so I’m impressed by that offerThe shaver delivers a smooth shave to the neck/back without nicks, is easy to use and hold and feels natural in the hand. It’s easy to clean under running water and to then dry and store. Really ... MoreBought this shaver a few months ago to shave my back hair. Very happy with my purchase.

Really happy with this product - has turned a chore into a quick, simple, satisfying experience.Btw shaver shop - your review process sucks. I’m just determined to write about a great product despite the onerous nature of doing so

Replaced twice already

Got this shaver/groomer from my partner as a gift as my old one just wasn't up to the task anymore.Unfortunately within a couple of weeks the blade came off and I had to replace.Got the new one home, put it on charge and it wouldn't turn on. Took it back the next day and after they did a series of tests they replaced it.It's been about 6 months and the battery has now gone in this one. I turn it on and its as if it is on a low power setting and after approximately 5 seconds turns off. Only other real problem then the above is its a bit of a pain to clean.I would give it a 1 star but the shaver/groomer is easy to use, gives a pretty close cut and the back extension is great.

Where have you been hiding?

Right. There are 2 kinds of people, those with body hair, and those who look like the man on the packaging. It's always the case. I unfortunatly am not the guy on the box. Body hair has been a frustration most of my life. With age that frustration disappears. And now the hair can disappear with it! For too long I have relied on my partner or spend an hour struggling with life trying to clean up my manly body hair! This right here ladies and gentlemen is probably the best solution I have come across! Easy to use, fast... And I mean FAST. Waterproof and just all round a lot more pleasant than I expected. Would it be an everyday use item? Not for me. But if I hadn't already accepted my hairy life for what it is then this would be my answer. Is it perfect? Not at all. ... MoreRight.
